Officers with the Stokes County Sheriff’s Office arrested a Westfield man Tuesday after investigating a burglary report in Madison.

According to a report from the Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched to a reported burglary in progress at 4055 NC Highway 772 in the Madison area around 5:03 a.m. Tuesday morning. Officers observed a white male walking near the scene. He has been identified as Christopher Michael Martin, 20, of 1035 Tomahawk Road, Westfield.

The residents reported that they were in bed when the wife saw a flashlight coming up the stairs, and she woke her husband up. They said he started yelling at the intruder, but the intruder did not leave until the husband jumped out of the bed and started toward him. The residents said the intruder then ran back down the stairs and out of the residence. They reported that their three cars had been broken into.

Deputies and detectives were able to find evidence at the residence that pointed to Martin, according to the report. Martin was later arrested and charged with felony first-degree burglary, three counts felony breaking and entering a motor vehicle, three counts misdemeanor larceny and three counts misdemeanor possession of stolen property. Bond is $150,000 secured.

Sheriff Mike Marshall stated in a news release: “Our officers worked very good together putting this case in order. Team work always has a positive outcome. We will continue to work hard to arrest people who victimize our citizens like this.”
